USB flash memory Swiss Army knife

the great thing about a swiss army knife is that it gives you a lot of tools in a small package. a new swiss army knife has something you would have never thought could possibly be included: a usb memory key. the swissmemory usb victorinox includes a 64 mb or 128 mb swissbit usb memory key, which is usb 2.0-compatible and includes password protection for private zones. a red led light is included to indicate read/write status. the swissmemory usb victorinox comes in a travel-safe version (to avoid problems on flights), which only includes a ballpoint pen in addition to the usb memory key and led light. the extended version includes the ballpoint pen, led light and usb memory key, a knife, file, screwdriver, and scissors–a definite necessity for those geeks roughing it in the woods with their laptop computer. check out the on the data sheet (pdf) on the swissbit website.

solid state hard drives(3:22pm est mon mar 15 2004)i want a 10gb solid state drive. any chance that could be put together fairly cost effectively. just something faster than a normal megnetic drive and bigger than a dvd. but i want it cheaper than $200 or so and i want it now! :) maybe cost is the only thing holding it back but it seems they coudl use cheaper slower memory and make it cost less but still be faster then a megnetic drive. – by meet my demands

i was thinking in terms of terabytes(8:08pm est mon mar 15 2004)i hope that a drive would become available, that could be interlinked with a pda or some hand held device, that would allow one to access for example the library of congress or some other large database. oh, and i want it now too! – by oso

my new sandisk flash burnt up!(7:12am est tue mar 16 2004)i bought a new sandisk mini thumb drive and within 5 minutes of use, it heated up to about 60 degrees (hot enough to burn my finger!) and i asked my colleague to double check and he said the same thing! the disk doesnt work now, after 15 minutes worth of use and is completely useless.

i hope the victorinox stuff is much better than the sandisk crap! – by sandisk sucks a$$
